And on other places on this same website folks want to debate the use of centerfire .22 on pronghorn or deer! wink

Great bulls, SS and Greenhorn, thanks for sharing.

PS- Can you guys actually feel others envy? wink

What a bullfest! Great photos and animals!

Dan, I'm not a logger unless you count cutting down a Christmas tree in the winter. I work in an office. I don't scout nearly as much as I used to.

Good question - was thinking the same thing. Was also wondering A. how far back in, B. does backpacking/spike camp play into the equation.


Adversity doesn't build character, it reveals it.

Growing up I'd get lost if I couldn't see the Froid elevators, it's even worse in the mtns.. Thankfully I pack a GPS, spare batteries, and a big buck knife in my fanny pack now. laugh

The old VE25 I've owned since 1978...has served me well in most of the western states as well as Alaska, The Yukon, The NWT,....I even use it out on the "Flats".

Here's a neat shot of my best archery bull, just after boning and putting in pillow cases and before sneaking it off of Ted Turner's ranch. laugh

Notice the arrow hole in the heart. The purple pillow cases are from K-Mart, I believe the "Martha Stuart Collection" of linens.. this is the step just prior to putting them into ziplock sandwich bags.

The guy who took the largest on that hunt returned to NM again this year in a fairly easy to draw unit, that isn't well known for big bulls..

This is where his bull ended up this year.. wrapped around a tree after a little sliding down the mtn. He made a good shot at 600 yards.
